Deborah Dianne Barbee

Deborah Diane Lytle Barbee, daughter of Ralph A and Ella Elizabeth Lytle, sister to Gloria Jo Ponozzo, mother to Theresa Lee, JoDee Elizabeth and Kenya Marie, grandma to 5 and great grandma, departed this world on May 17, 2018. After putting herself through college as a single parent of three, she earned an associate's degree from Big Bend Community College and graduated with honors. She worked as a legal assistant for 41 years and retired from Bennett Hartman Morris & Kaplan, LLP. A fiercely independent woman whose passion was her family, her strong will and refusal to fail carried her girls through challenging times and helped shape their lives.

Please consider a memorial donation on her behalf to Care Partners Hospice and Palliative of Oregon in lieu of flowers. Without this amazing organization and its over the top awesome staff with their collective wisdom and support, we would not have been able to support her wishes of remaining in the comfort and safety of her home.

Until we are together in glory.
